We are interested in how partisan politics, institutional frameworks, organized interests, institutional legacies and the timing and intensity of crises account for the temporal and cross-national variations in welfare state responses.

Please share! Guillem Verd Llabrés, Emanuele Ferragina, and I are organizing a stream at #ESPaNET, The Historical Political Economy of the Welfare State. We invite contributions on how welfare institutions adapted to economic shocks, war, and demographic shifts in the 20th and 21st centuries.

More discussion is needed on barriers to accessing ‘entitled’ social security benefits in LMICs, as expanding welfare laws is only a first step toward universal access. Micro-level analysis, for example, could explore individual factors affecting benefit access.

The discrepancy is also persistent in LMICs, which could be not be automatically solved by having a long history of social insurance systems.
Further more, low state capacity, prevalent corruption, and poor policy design impede the effective implementation of social insurance legislation.
